  1. regarding the first 3 days of each month when there is a non Life master tournament, it always amazes me that non lifers don't take advantage of this as there are, most times, not enough people to have a game. Any comments, please?

  2. Wish this would be a four-day event! I like playing both survivor and the country championship but that's just too much bridge for me to fit into just three days.

  3. I had a bad experience with bbo robot that became my partner, where the robot partner made an error by opening a1S bid of only 2 cards. Apart from that, previously there were also many mistakes that made us no longer happy playing, so I finally stopped playing the country vs country game. We also know the limitations of bbo robots that can be tolerated because they are only a machine but if it gets to a fatal error it means bbo that hv been equipped w/ a 2/1 system become a burden for us human players and it's no fun anymore

  4. Pl. advice to jadesoso@aol.com, playing 2nd day in BBO Fest tournament and the game I entered crashed. Not seeing any of the other tournaments for the festival in the all tournaments to even play, it is now 12:42PM California, southern time, what to do am new at this, thanks

    1. Hi Patti,
      No, not all BBOers Festival games are free. However, there are some free games available, such as Robot and Mini Survivors, as well as Stars & Platinum (although eligibility restrictions may apply). Also, the paid games on BBOers Festival are quite affordable. For example, Country vs Country is only 0.10 BB$, Daylong Best Hand and Just Declare Daylong are priced at just 1 BB$, and the ACBL NLM games are only 0.99 BB$. So, come and join in the fun! 🙂

    1. Hi Eva,

      BBOers April Festival starts on April 3 and ends on April 5. The specific start and end times for each game is vary:

      Mini 3-Day Survivor and Robot 3-Day Survivor: These events are daylong formats. You need to play from the Day 1 which is April 3, and survive for the next day.

      Country vs Country Championships: This event lasts 72 hours during the festival and can be played at any time during those three days.

      Stars & Platinum Robot: This tournament is also daylong format. It runs for three days, April 3-5.

      Daylong Reward and Just Declare Daylong Reward: These events are also daylong format, appear each day during the festival, April 3-5.

      ACBL NLM Express: This game runs every 2 hours, from 11AM to 11PM New York Time, for the duration of the BBOers Monthly Festival.

      I hope this helps!
